Xavier entered play Thursday against Arizona as the most surprising team in the Sweet 16, and they continued to surprise against the Wildcats' defense in the opening minutes.
Junior J.P. Macura only makes 34 percent of his 3-pointers, but was able to get his defender to bite on a shot fake before blowing by for a massive dunk.
